Since the day I lost you, girl
I just can't face the world
I can't help feeling kinda small


I let you go one day
But now I ain't ashamed to say

That I need you
I know that I need you


For without your love
I'm just no good at all


I guess I lost my head
I know I must have said
A lot of things to make you cry


I made myself a lonely man
But now I've come to understand

That I need you
I tell you, I need you
And I'm gonna keep repeating to you

Till the day I die, oh

I need you to confide in

(Yes, I do)
I need you to take pride in
(Yes, I do)


I need your shoulder to cry on
(Yes, I do)

You're all I got to rely on
And that's why I need you


Oh, baby, baby, baby
Take me back again
I couldn't admit it to you, baby

But now I'm saying

I need you

I know that I need you
